Good on him. Regardless of politics, you have to feel bad about the kids.

True. And I like how it's allocated for education, not just money given. This is a genuine effort to improve the lives of the Blake children.

 

[cowhide]

this is a very nice gesture.

Great quote from a Jazz fan favorite:


Antoine Carr “He loves that city,” Carr said, referring to Donovan Mitchell. “He’s given his heart. If you can’t give your heart back to him, you don’t deserve to watch him play.”

I wonder if he'll donate any money to Blake's sexual assault or domestic violence victims?

I think the sexual assault and domestic violence victim was his wife (iirc) and he is donating the money to her children.
Speaking for myself, if you give my child money it's just as good as giving me money directly.

I'm one to question a lot of things behind this movement but I give nothing but props to Spyda here.

Why don’t you do it?

Excellent news!

If anyone buys these, I'd like to know how they feel. I have 8 pairs of don issue 1 and I've been debating for months on the black ones.

I haven't bought don issue 2 cause I hate Don or whatever his movements are but because the shoes look like ***

You’d have to find them on a second hand sell, I haven’t seen any for a long while.

Did they ever release sales numbers for his first shoe? I just can't imagine they did well. I've never seen anyone wear them and no player outside of Rubio and Bojan wear his shoe in the NBA (from what I've seen).

His first shoe is absolutely horrible to play basketball in honestly. Unless the floor is waxed and/or swept daily, you're going to be sliding everywhere in them

On another note though, you can actually get Don Issue 2 from Eastbay for $75 dollars instead of the $100 if you wanted to try them out right now

I think they did okay. I’ve seen some high school kids wear them, Mikey being one of them, and some college athletes. But they don’t wear them all the time. I think them being priced 10-$15 a pair less hurts the quality a bit. Hope the traction on the new ones are better than the 1st. Waiting on the couple pairs I ordered. If you can I’d buy at least a pair of the Issue 2’s. Hope they do okay.

In my honest opinion it’s part of what’s weighing on him of late is his shoe and endorsements. He knows he needs to win games and stay on the front and center stage and I’m sure his shoe sales and that pressure is weighing on him now.

I use them as outdoor shoes and the traction is A+. Indoor it is pretty spotty if you play on bad floors (that's the case for most shoes, if you play on a bad court you have to be really smart about which shoes you buy (or dont be lazy and request the broom and sweep the court yourself)). I actually really like playing in them as outdoor shoes.

Yeah, I should have clarified. Indoor courts. I wear my stealths like 90% of the time

I use my Don 1's as work shoes and they've been the best work/walking shoes I've ever owned. I posted about this a while ago and they still are in good shape outside of being dirty from tons of hard use.
